I worry more about weight than anything else around the holidays. I won't go to holiday parties unless my wife does also and I have not drank in her presence in years. She treats one of my previous failed attempts as "when I quit" and acknowledges that I have had slips since but publicly with her and in her social circle I have been a non drinker. She also very rarely drinks in my presence. My oldest turned 21 late last year and drinks responsibly (as far as I know) so far. He was a really good student that almost never was in any trouble in HS and will graduate college in the spring with a high GPA, references from professors and probably a job in hand. But I will likely see him drink a time or two over the holidays. I will have the hard talk with him about locking temptation away and about the possible genetic link.
